The DA in Travis County is not in the midst of being blasted for blowing capital murder cases while also being on record as ignoring pot laws and immigration hold requests nor is the police chief in the crosshairs for having had officers who lied to get a warrant that subsequently resulted in two innocents being gunned down in the search warrant execution.
Remember also that there were only two rooms that were made the subject of frivolous prosecution in Harris County. Many others continue to operate.
To the most fundamental issue...yes, each jurisdiction has its own politics. And yes, politics were at play in Harris County for the reasons detailed in this thread as well as the one in NVG.
